THIS HOPKINS & ALLEN TURN BARREL BLACK POWDER .45 CALIBER CAP AND BALL IS A DOUBLE BARREL WHICH ROTATES ON THE STOCK.

IT HAS BEEN REFERRED TO A SWIVEL BREECH OR A SWING BREECH, MANUFACTURED IN 1974 FOR HOPKINS AND ALLEN BY HIGH STANDARD, ACCORDING TO OUR RESEARCH. STAMPED "HOPKINS & ALLEN TURN BARREL." ORIGINAL PRICE IN THAT YEAR WAS $139.95, IT IS A HISTORICAL BLACK POWDER GUN
SINCE HIGH STANDARD STOPPED MAKING GUNS IN 1981. TODAY,
$450.00 IS A GOOD PRICE FOR A PRISTINE EXAMPLE OF THIS MODEL, ACCORDING TO THE BLOGS ON IT.

THIS PIECE IS MISSING THE RAM ROD. I AM LOOKING AROUND
FOR A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT, AND AM TEMPORARILY PRICING IT LOWER TO ALLOW FOR THE MISSING ROD. NUMRICH IS MY NEXT STOP FOR THE ROD, BECAUSE THEY OWNED HOPKINS& ALLEN
(AN OLD ARMS MANUFACTURER SINCE 1868) DURING THE 1970s.

OTHERWISE, THIS ONE HAS NEVER BEEN FIRED AND IS IN 99% NEW CONDITION ALL AROUND - STOCK AND METAL. 100% BORES.

ACTION OPERATES AS EXPECTED - PERFECTLY.

THIS IS AN UNUSUAL BLACK POWDER RIFLE, BEING A TWO-BARREL "OVER/UNDER" WHICH TURNS 180 DEGREES TO FIRE THE OTHER BARREL.
